On Astrocast.tv

There are a lot of really great sources for astronomy information out there, and I visit as many as I can when I have a chance. One that caught my eye (because it has an old friend of mine on as host), is Astrocast.TV. It’s a news-format presentation posted once a month, and it delves into the latest space and astronomy news.  The casts have grown over the past few months and they cover a LOT of material!

Today I’m pleased to announced that I’ve joined the “cast” of Astrocast.TV as producer for a monthly documentary segment called The Astronomer’s Universe. Each month I’ll be taking a few minutes to delve into some of the fascinating objects and exciting topics that professional astronomers are looking at and learning about. In between times, I’ll post blog entries about exciting astronomy finds.

I am one of three new segment producers to join the Astrocast.TV group. The others are Bente Lilja Bye, who is doing a monthly segment about Earth observations and the environment, and Tavi Greiner, an amateur astronomer who will be bringing the latest in the night sky to you for your observational enjoyment.  We join Greg Redfern, Harold Geller, and Lori Feaga — three long-time Astrocast.TV veterans. It’s a great crew and I am honored to be among such talented people!  Special thanks to Rich Mathews for inviting me in and guiding me along as we produced the segment called “The Big Picture.”

Head on over and check it out!

Update: here is the full Astrocast.tv video cast for May.  Below it is my segment.  Enjoy!
